Global ASL Ladder Challenges & Discussion

I somehow managed to lose a small scenario to the defending germans of Sebastiano Caltaniano in BotH1: The Hardest Day. Even though my attacking US swarmed most of the village, we lost due to the CVP cap.

Jeff Buser's Russian hordes kept the pressure on Tom Arnold's Germans and took enough buildings to win BFP-97 Renewed Pressure. Congratulations to Jeff on a well played game.

In one of the toughest games I have played lately, my attacking Germans were able to eek out a wind vs. Frederic Benois's defending British in AP 114: A Lion in the Field. Frederic seems to find a "solve" for this scenario, as he set up way on the other side of the river where I couldn't reach him… forcing the Germans to run a gauntlet just to engage his forces. But I managed to runs tank past the gauntlet to make it off for exit, thus making up for the tanks lost to the guns and a piat. Great game, Frederic!

My attacking Germans were the recipient of a fantastic run of luck vs. Scott Holst's defending Russians in U28: Sowchos 79. My tanks simply hit everything that moved with numerous critical hits. At one point a Marder rolled two CHs in a row in the same fire phase to wipe out two T-34s… I'll take the win, having been brutalized all summer, but we have to wonder about the dicebot just a little ...

Ya, the dicebot blows, buy a camera and roll real bones.

Robert Loper led his attacking Germans to victory vs. my defending Russians in DB059: Grind them to dust. Both my leaders boxcarred in the same sequence leading to a tough situation for me. Great game with another fine opponent.

I tried that tactic at ASLOK last year. Would have worked except the radio malfed just as the Germans got through the village and I lost a crew when it failed a morale check when routing...I think it is a viable strategery.

 

[Damon]

MrHonus and I finished our game of Smertniki (ASL {RS} 59 today -- his attacking Russians emerged unscathed from a swarm of THHs to claim the victory vs. my defending Japanese.

 

[Damon]

My American attackers were able to win a close game vs. Jeff Wasserman's defending Germans in J176: Deadly Assumption. It came down to the final phase, and I still won despite losing a lot of my infantry and all but two of my tanks.... I think the Amis are slightly favored. Great game that was very exciting from the opening salvo of PFs.

vic challenges damon to SP5 hornet of cloville with me on defense

 

[Damon]

Vic's Germans turned back my attacking Amis in SP 5: Hornet of Cloville. A fun game, still an SP classic after all these years. Despite the "2' SAN number, a sniper zeroed right in on the US 9-1 leader, shooting him dead and leaving us without leadership for a couple of turns, which proved to be decisive. Always a pleasure, Vic!

 

[Damon]

My attacking British managed to defeat Sebastian Caltabiano's defending partisans in J-174: The Heart of Athena. Good game, but the bomb trucks have no chance!

Challenge accepted........................thanks

Pat's Romanians took the needed buildings to win the scenario. Thanks!

 

[Damon]

Carl Noguiera's attacking Germans were able to overcome my defending Russians in Sp:114: Seizing Gyujamajor. Close game!

Challenging Pat A Palma to beat my Germans in J173 Assault on Baerendorf

 

[Damon]

Rob Arrieta's attacking russians won over my defending germans in BFP-102: Tolstoy Woods.

 

[Damon]

My Defending British repulsed the attacking Japanese of David Perham (MrHonus) in ASL 60.1: On the Kokoda Trail. Fun game, dice favored the british especially the 337 Papuan who went fanatic and generated a hero and almost a leader if it weren't for an SSR. Fun times
